AnxsC. II.lf. An Indian Adventure. I was the acknowledged hello of Clin ton, a small village bordering on tho wes tern wilderness. I could out shoot auy one, evon the old woodmen that thronged our village. My mother was kept in per petual alarm hy uiy daring uxploits; in fact, as the old trappers said, I was out out for a back woodman's wife. I had two lovers then ; ono was Harry Chcver- ly, and tho other Mark Huthson. Harry About this time we heard news of the ' deprcdatioii3,that tho Indians were com mitting, by some passing stragglers which filled us with temporary uneasiness, but our fears soon passed away, and we regar ded theso reports as greatly exaggerated or totally untrue. Ono evening Eddy returned from his daily ramble, bringing with him a mocoa sin, which he said ho had found in tho woods. This filled mo with alarm and uneasiness. I felt a presentiment of com ing danger. 1110 next morning i mentioned my fears to Harry, but ho only laughed at my terror, and playfully handing mo a little revolver, bado mo defend myself liko a man, and then went to tho woods to his daily work. I slipped tho revolver play fully in my pocket, but oould not wholly divest myself of my fears. a or an hour 1 sat m my low rocking chair, with my child at my side, counting tho minutes as they flow, when my attcn tion was attracted by a noiso in tho oppo site Bide of tho room. Looking quickly around, to my dismay and terror I Eaw a dozen Indians evidently just returned from war, each bearing his bleeding scalp. ILo foremost advanced and appeared to bo tho chief of tho party. Ho approach ed and would have laid rough hands on mo whon my darling boy raised himself to his full height, his blue eyes flashing, do- mauded what thoy meant by their intru sion, and how they daro lay violent hands on his mother. The chief paid no attention to him but bado his warriors bind us, which was quickly done, and, after a fow moments, tho chiefs retired in consultation 5 when seizing the opportunity, I scratched on tho wall : "Harry, wo arc in tho hands of tin In dians." Tho chiefs soon returned, and wo were borno with rapid but noiseless steps into tho depths of the wilderness. Tho chief who had bound us now attracted my at tenlion. I was sure I had seen him be fore, where, I could not say. Three days and nights without stopping wo wore borne away from homo, and tho fourth day wo stopped in a small hollow, which I found strewed with bones and skulls. Whilo contemplating this scono with horror, I looked up, and the Indian chief stood before mo. With a sneer over his dark features, he said, in good Eng lish : "Though you have forgotten 1110, Jane Mauncring, for so I will call you, I have by no means forgotten you." "Who arc you?" said I. "I am Mark Huthson," tho chief re plied, and in tho e painted features I re membered tho hypocritical face of the Qoncnmmalu villa!,,. I There was no pity in his revengeful I heart, and I read our doom in those hard features. "Do you see yonder tree," said ho in a Improprieties About Churches. Dr. Hobort J.

It is highly improper to go late to This distinguished Kontuckian and no- church when it can possibly bo avoidod. ted minister of our Church, delivered a This interrupts the services, confuses the discourse on tho "Fast Day," in Odd congregation, distracts tho attention, and Fellows' Hall, Lexington, Ky., iu which ho is a sure indication of slothfulncss,orsomo-' took high ground for tho preservation of Uhcverly was a splendid specimen of an I , j, f Wl; woodman, with a hoart true as steel, and, to my inexperienced eyes, ho was tho very personification of uiauly cxcillencc. Mark Huthson was contrary to him in every respect. Handsome ho was, but on your boy will bo bound to that tree, and his young scalp will bo clipped froni his head, by my savage friends, and you will remain, and in tho morning will sharo his fate." A scornful siloneo was his answer. O, his face was such a hypocritical expression uow quickly the day flow and tho night that I peifuctly detested him. Ho seem- j approached ; and just as twilight was set ed aw aro of my dislike and assuming an t;ng ;n) a ruthlcs3 savago seized him nir of injured innocence, ho pressed his r0uglily by tho arm and bound him to the emit with tho utmost zeal.

No indecorum can bo woro palpa blo than standing about church doors du ring service, or whilst tho pcoplo aro as sembling. A truly polito person will not do his. And yet wo havo seen members who thought themselves in good and regu lar standing, and even church officials, place themselves at tho door of the sanct uary and gape at tho peoplo as they entered just a3 if Ihoy wore tho regularly appoint ed inspectors of all church-goers. This impropriety may bo the result of thought ussNtss, but it is very little tho loss cul pable on that account. And when young men aro guilty of it through a spirit of curiosity, it is exceedingly offensive to all well mannered people, and always meets and merits their hcarfclt reprobation. 3, Talking, laughing, whispering, gig gling and all vocal or visihlo manifesta tions of social greetings when in tho house of Qod, cither before, during or after ser vice indicates ill-breeding in all so acting. Politeness, to say nothing of piety, avoids all such indulgcncics. Still wo havo seen young lads and lasses, who fancy they move iu tho most decorious eircles of so cial life, come into church with a giddy grin on their countcnanco that never left it until they had mado many bows, ges tures and sundry other cyo and head man ipulations to those around them, to tho ut ter disgust of all lovers of TRUE politeness. 4, Some leavo the doors open as they enter church, and allow themselves to be come so confused, that -in going to a scat they rather run than walk, thus making a noiso on the uncarpelcd floor, somewhat similar in sound to that of ihc ox when treading out the corn. A real lady or gentleman never docs so, but they cuter thosactuary iu a mild, self-possessed way; and when thoy havo taken their seat they deport themselves agreeably to the solemn ity of the occasion, and not as though they wore attending an opera or concert. 0. Some church members, never try to furnish strangers scats. This is a breach of politeness to ally inexcusable, ami a real indignity offered to tho person neglected. It is almost as much an index of bad man uers, as not to offer a friend a chair when culliugupou us at our own houses. To show strangers Beats, is the sexton's business, says one ; true, but if that funct ionary neglects his duty, this should make you and mo the mcro vigilant, that l; - i-.i. - c . j . ... tie of reproach on tho whole congregation. Not to havo a byiuu bcolt to use yourself, or to offer to a stranger when need bo, is alio very improper iu all church mem bers. 0. Feet shuflliug, tobacco chewing, sleep ing, inattention, reading books, amusing children, spread caglcing, with tho arms akimbo on tho seat in front of us, aro vul garities in church, that no pcreon of culti vated manners will cither indulge or excuse. No individual of refinement will n lWiln nmincncQ on whioh thero was a thick growth of underwood ; as I passed it, Mark Huthson rodo out and joined mo.

He fcrcd mo his baud and heart. my ecat, I said : "Mark Ruthson, no words can express tho disgust I feel for you ; and if you in tuit me again I will cowhide you, sir !" It would bo impossible to depict tho ex pression of rago that swept over his face. "Jano Manncriug, mark my words: I will bo revenged 1" Casting him a glance ot unuitcrauio contempt, I whipped up my horso and soon lost sight of him. Tho next day Mark Ruthson left tho villao-o, and went no one knew whero. A yearfrom that day Harry Chevclry and I wcro married, and, with tho blessings of my mother, and tho best wishes of my friends, started for tho Western wilder ness. I will pass over a period of ten years, during which a substantial log cabin had i- i,iir . rndo thouL'h it was, lovo mado u is.,1,, nnlace. Our hearts wcro also Maddened by our little Eddy, tho imago of his father, and a uoblo little fellow, and his cheek never blanched. In rago at his utter scorn, tho Indian raised his tomahawk for tho last timo. Instinctively my hand rested on my revolver. I felt sure of nry aim. I raised it, slowly point ing it at tho savago's heart and fired. With a frightful yell he sprang into tho air and fell dead. With a scream of rago tho Indians rushed upon mo ; another ono fell by my revolver.

All A " J v. . j --4 tho Union, showed tho entiro invalidity of tho pretensions of the seceding States, warned Kentucky against involving her self with them, and told her iutho plainest terms that her only hopo of safety and prosperity as a State was to ho iound in clinging to tho border freo States. With respect to iho figment of tho right of secession and State sovereignty, ho thui expressed himself : "If it is tho right of any Stato to do this then First. Wo have no National Gov ernment, nud never had any. Secondly. It is perfectly idlo to speak of a new Con stitution, siuco a new Constitution can have no moro forco than tho Constitution already despised. Thirdly. Tho possi- pility is ended ended in the very theory of the case illustrated, in the utter failure of its practice the possibility U ended of uniting republican freedom with national strengtli in any country, or under any form of government.- 15ut, according to my belief, aud acoording to tho universal belief of tho Atncricau peoplo a little while ago, no such right, legal or constitutional, as that of secession does or can cxutu,udcr such institutions as ours. "In the first place, no States in tho Un ion ever had any sovereignty at all, iu dependent!' of, or except as they were United States. When they speak about recovering their sovereignty when they speak about returning to tho condition of sovereigns,!!! which they were before thoy wcro moitibers of the coufedei aey, called at first the United Colonies, then tho United states, tney tpeau ol a tiling mat has no existence. They speak of a thing that is historically without foundation They wcro not States. They were Colonics uf tho llritish Crow n. They woro Colonics ot tuo Dutch Uovcrnmcut. Ihcy were Colonics granted by charter to particular indiidual.s, or to particular companies of individuals, l'eniylvauia was a Colony, tho property of William l'eun. Georgia a largo porlion of it belonged to Ogle thorpc. They were chartered to iudivid uals or companion, as wore tho Colonies of foreign nations or kings. As States thoy revolted ; as such, baforc their revolt,they uuitod in a Continental Government moro or less complete, and as such United Col onies they pronounced that famous Declar ation of Independence, which, after a war of seven years, still ns United Colonies ihcy mado good. That great Washing ton who led tho war was iho comtnan acr-lti-goncral in netiuu oi mo uuucu ioi onies- As such they wero horn States. Tho treaties of peace that mado them in dependent treated them as United States What sovereignty did Kentucky ever havo except the sovereignty she had as a Stato of theso United States, born at tho same timo that her sovereignty, as an indepen dent Stato, was born. Wo wcro a Colony or District of Virginia. Wo became a Stato ono of tho United States,at tho same timo, for tho same purposo, and f. r good and all. What I mean by this,my friends, Tigor Chaso by Baboons. Tho following account of a tiger ohaso is extracted from tho North Lincoln 'Sphinx,' a regimental paper, published at Graham's Town. Tho writer, after alluding to his sporting experiences of all kinds, and in ill quarters of tho globo, declares that he never witnessed so novel or intensely exciting a chaso as that about to bo described : Not long ago I spent a few days at Fort Drown, a small military post on tho banks of tho Great Fish river, whero my friend W. was stationod. Ono evening, as my friend and 1 wcro return ing homo, after a somewhat fatiguing day's buckshooting, wo were startled by hearing tho most extraordinary noises, not far from us. It seemed as if all tho demons in the infernal regions hud been unchain ed, aud wcro amusing themselves by try ing to frighted us poor mortals by their horrid yelling. Wo stood in breathless expectation, not knowing what could possi bly be tho causo of this diabolical row, with all sorts of strange conjectures flash ing aoross our minds. Nearer and nearer tho yelling and screaming approached, and presently tho causo becamo visihlo to our astonished eyes. Some threo or four hun dred yards to our light, upon tha brow of a small hill, a spotted leopard (commonly called, in this country, a tiger, though much smaller than tho lord of tho Indian jungles) came in view, bounding along with all tho speed and energy of despair, while close behind him followed an enormous pack of baboons, from whoso throats pro ceeded tho demoniacal sounds that had, a fow seconds before, so startled U3. Our excitement in ihe chaso, aj you may sup pose, was intense. On went tho tiger, making for tho river, tho baboons follow ing liko avenging demons, ana evidently gaining ground upon their nearly exhaus ted foo, though their exulting yells soouicd each moment to incrcaso his terror and his speed. They reached the stream, tho tiger still a few yards iu advance, and with a tremendous bound, ho cast himself into its muddy waters and mado for tho opposite bank. Tho next moment his pursuers, in admirablo confusion, wcro struggling after him, and as the tiger (uow fearfully exhausted) clambered on Oil Wolls of Pennsylvania. In order to gratify tho curiosity of many of our readers, respecting tho first discoveries of tho Oil Wells in ronnsyl vania, we copy tho following from tho Surveyor General's late Annual Report, which says : Tho discovery of the oil was made many years since j hence tho naino of Oil creek. Tho Seneca Indians applied it by mixing with their war paint, and for religious pur poses. "Tho great Chief would rccito the conquest and heroism of their ancestors. Thosurfaco of tho stream was covered With a thick scum, which burst into a complete conflagration. Tho oil had bcon gathered and lidded with a torch. At tho sight of the flames tho Indians gavo forth a triumpqant shout, that madj the hills ro-ceho again 1 Hero is revived the ancient firo-worship of tho East. Here, then, are the children of tho Sun." This description was written moro than one hundred years ago to Gen. Montcalm. The first settler acquainted with tho locality of tho oil snrincs was Nathaniel Curry, of Franklin, seventy years sinco On tho 20th of August, 1859, a vein of oil was struck at tho depth of seventy-one lect, on Uu creek, below I ltusvule. in Venango county, superintended by Col. E. L. Drake, tho projector of tho Pioneer well. To him much of tho credit is duo in bringing to light this important branch of business. His energy and perseverance, amid delays, difficulties aud a vast outlay of expenditure, tiiuinphed over natural obstacles, and the moro sevoro trial of tho laugh and sneers of his neighbors. A FUIEND ot ours toll agooa thing on himself. Spending tho summer up iu the Katskills he found woodchucks more plen ty than roast beef; aud rather complained one day, to his wife, that she did not un derstand prepaiing wild game; "For," said ho, "woodehuck is very fine if only thoroughly prepared." "Havo you ever eaten any ?'' inmiired his wife. "Why, no: Ax Indian Scalp Dancf. At San Fe. A newspaper correspondent writ, from Santa Fe says : ''In the 'Plaza' yesterday a navel si, was presented. A band of Pueblos, so fifty in number, marched into town wi all the pomp and glorious circuinstanco war, bearing aloft four Navajo scalp which thoy had recently torn from tltc recking heads of as many Indian'.

The First Disunion Speech in the Senate op the United States. Tho first disunion speech made in tho United States Senate was made by Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, iu regard for tho Louis iana enabling act, on January the 11th, 1811. Ho said: "I am compelled to declare it ns my dcliberato opinion that if this bill passes, tho bouds of this Union aro virtually dis solved , that tho States which composo it are freo from their moral obligations ; ami that, as tt will be the right of all, so U tall U the ditty of some, to prrjmie def initely Jor a separation amicaiii.y u niEr can, violently it they must.
